Sequentially Complete
In mathematics, specifically in topology and functional analysis, a subspace of a uniform space is said to be sequentially complete or semi-complete if every Cauchy sequence in converges to an element in . is called sequentially complete if it is a sequentially complete subset of itself. Sequentially complete topological vector spaces Every topological vector space is a uniform space so the notion of sequential completeness can be applied to them. Properties of sequentially complete topological vector spaces #A bounded sequentially complete disk in a Hausdorff topological vector space is a Banach disk. #A Hausdorff locally convex space that is sequentially complete and bornological is ultrabornological. Examples and sufficient conditions #Every complete space is sequentially complete but not conversely. #A metrizable space then it is complete if and only if it is sequentially complete. #Every complete topological vector space is quasi-complete and every quasi-c ...

Topology
In mathematics, topology (from the Greek words , and ) is concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling, and bending; that is, without closing holes, opening holes, tearing, gluing, or passing through itself. A topological space is a set endowed with a structure, called a '' topology'', which allows defining continuous deformation of subspaces, and, more generally, all kinds of continuity. Euclidean spaces, and, more generally, metric spaces are examples of a topological space, as any distance or metric defines a topology. The deformations that are considered in topology are homeomorphisms and homotopies. A property that is invariant under such deformations is a topological property. Basic examples of topological properties are: the dimension, which allows distinguishing between a line and a surface; compactness, which allows distinguishing between a line and a circle; co ...

Complete Topological Vector Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a complete topological vector space is a topological vector space (TVS) with the property that whenever points get progressively closer to each other, then there exists some point x towards which they all get closer. The notion of "points that get progressively closer" is made rigorous by or , which are generalizations of , while "point x towards which they all get closer" means that this Cauchy net or filter converges to x. The notion of completeness for TVSs uses the theory of uniform spaces as a framework to generalize the notion of completeness for metric spaces. But unlike metric-completeness, TVS-completeness does not depend on any metric and is defined for TVSs, including those that are not metrizable or Hausdorff. Completeness is an extremely important property for a topological vector space to possess. The notions of completeness for normed spaces and metrizable TVSs, which are commonly defined in terms of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uniform Space
In the mathematical field of topology, a uniform space is a set with a uniform structure. Uniform spaces are topological spaces with additional structure that is used to define uniform properties such as completeness, uniform continuity and uniform convergence. Uniform spaces generalize metric spaces and topological groups, but the concept is designed to formulate the weakest axioms needed for most proofs in analysis. In addition to the usual properties of a topological structure, in a uniform space one formalizes the notions of relative closeness and closeness of points. In other words, ideas like "''x'' is closer to ''a'' than ''y'' is to ''b''" make sense in uniform spaces. By comparison, in a general topological space, given sets ''A,B'' it is meaningful to say that a point ''x'' is ''arbitrarily close'' to ''A'' (i.e., in the closure of ''A''), or perhaps that ''A'' is a ''smaller neighborhood'' of ''x'' than ''B'', but notions of closeness of points and relative closeness ...

Topological Vector Space
In mathematics, a topological vector space (also called a linear topological space and commonly abbreviated TVS or t.v.s.) is one of the basic structures investigated in functional analysis. A topological vector space is a vector space that is also a topological space with the property that the vector space operations (vector addition and scalar multiplication) are also continuous functions. Such a topology is called a and every topological vector space has a uniform topological structure, allowing a notion of uniform convergence and completeness. Some authors also require that the space is a Hausdorff space (although this article does not). One of the most widely studied categories of TVSs are locally convex topological vector spaces. This article focuses on TVSs that are not necessarily locally convex. Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces and Sobolev spaces are other well-known examples of TVSs. Many topological vector spaces are spaces of functions, or linear operators acting o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Complete Space
In mathematical analysis, a metric space is called complete (or a Cauchy space) if every Cauchy sequence of points in has a limit that is also in . Intuitively, a space is complete if there are no "points missing" from it (inside or at the boundary). For instance, the set of rational numbers is not complete, because e.g. \sqrt is "missing" from it, even though one can construct a Cauchy sequence of rational numbers that converges to it (see further examples below). It is always possible to "fill all the holes", leading to the ''completion'' of a given space, as explained below. Definition Cauchy sequence A sequence x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots in a metric space (X, d) is called Cauchy if for every positive real number r > 0 there is a positive integer N such that for all positive integers m, n > N, d\left(x_m, x_n\right) < r.

Cauchy Net
In mathematics, more specifically in general topology and related branches, a net or Moore–Smith sequence is a generalization of the notion of a sequence. In essence, a sequence is a function whose domain is the natural numbers. The codomain of this function is usually some topological space. The motivation for generalizing the notion of a sequence is that, in the context of topology, sequences do not fully encode all information about functions between topological spaces. In particular, the following two conditions are, in general, not equivalent for a map f between topological spaces X and Y: #The map f is continuous in the topological sense; #Given any point x in X, and any sequence in X converging to x, the composition of f with this sequence converges to f(x) (continuous in the sequential sense). While it is necessarily true that condition 1 implies condition 2 (The truth of the condition 1 ensures the truth of the conditions 2.), the reverse implication is not nece ...

Quasi-complete Space
In functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) is said to be quasi-complete or boundedly complete if every closed and bounded subset is complete. This concept is of considerable importance for non- metrizable TVSs. Properties * Every quasi-complete TVS is sequentially complete. * In a quasi-complete locally convex space, the closure of the convex hull of a compact subset is again compact. * In a quasi-complete Hausdorff TVS, every precompact subset is relatively compact. * If is a normed space and is a quasi-complete locally convex TVS then the set of all compact linear maps of into is a closed vector subspace of L_b(X;Y). * Every quasi-complete infrabarrelled space is barreled. * If is a quasi-complete locally convex space then every weakly bounded subset of the continuous dual space is strongly bounded. * A quasi-complete nuclear space then has the Heine–Borel property. Examples and sufficient conditions Every complete TVS is quasi-complet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Functional Analysis
Functional analysis is a branch of mathematical analysis, the core of which is formed by the study of vector spaces endowed with some kind of limit-related structure (e.g. inner product, norm, topology, etc.) and the linear functions defined on these spaces and respecting these structures in a suitable sense. The historical roots of functional analysis lie in the study of spaces of functions and the formulation of properties of transformations of functions such as the Fourier transform as transformations defining continuous, unitary etc. operators between function spaces. This point of view turned out to be particularly useful for the study of differential and integral equations. The usage of the word '' functional'' as a noun goes back to the calculus of variations, implying a function whose argument is a function. The term was first used in Hadamard's 1910 book on that subject. However, the general concept of a functional had previously been introduced in 1887 by the I ...

Ultrabornological Space
In functional analysis, a topological vector space (TVS) X is called ultrabornological if every bounded linear operator from X into another TVS is necessarily continuous. A general version of the closed graph theorem holds for ultrabornological spaces. Ultrabornological spaces were introduced by Alexander Grothendieck (Grothendieck 955, p. 17"espace du type (β)"). Definitions Let X be a topological vector space (TVS). Preliminaries A disk is a convex and balanced set. A disk in a TVS X is called bornivorous if it absorbs every bounded subset of X. A linear map between two TVSs is called infrabounded if it maps Banach disks to bounded disks. A disk D in a TVS X is called infrabornivorous if it satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions: D absorbs every Banach disks in X. while if X locally convex then we may add to this list: the gauge of D is an infrabounded map; while if X locally convex and Hausdorff then we may add to this list: D absorbs ...

Bornological Space
In mathematics, particularly in functional analysis, a bornological space is a type of space which, in some sense, possesses the minimum amount of structure needed to address questions of boundedness of sets and linear maps, in the same way that a topological space possesses the minimum amount of structure needed to address questions of continuity. Bornological spaces are distinguished by the property that a linear map from a bornological space into any locally convex spaces is continuous if and only if it is a bounded linear operator. Bornological spaces were first studied by George Mackey. The name was coined by Bourbaki after , the French word for " bounded". Bornologies and bounded maps A on a set X is a collection \mathcal of subsets of X that satisfy all the following conditions: \mathcal covers X; that is, X = \cup \mathcal; \mathcal is stable under inclusions; that is, if B \in \mathcal and A \subseteq B, then A \in \mathcal; \mathcal is stable under finite unions; ...
